#3 The attack was launched from War Bo Island (3). The island has been under #AA control for quite some time. SAC forces retreated after the fall of the bases towards their ROC base and is launching repeated artillery strikes on AA forces in this area.

#2 Around 200 SAC troops were stationed at each base. This marks a significant blow to SAC forces, as their defenses were breached. With AA forces gaining a foothold on the island in this area, it could potentially lead to the gradual fall of #Sittwe. --->

#1 In mid-January, #AA forces attacked the regional capital of #Rakhine State. In a small offensive, they captured two bases from #SAC forces. They took one base in Taw Kan village (1) and another near Kant Kaw Kyun village (2). ---> #Myanmar

In mid-January, around 80 #SAC soldiers escaped from a #KNDF prison. Most of them crossed the border, reportedly with the prison guards helping them escape. #Myanmar

#2 and the city would probably still be under their control. A serious mistake, which will cost many resistance lives. Later, the bridge was shelled by artillery, but it only caused minor damage.

#1 The #KNDF destroyed the Than Lwin bridge with a landmine to stop a possible push by #SAC forces towads #Mese town. Questionable is why KNDF forces didn't destoyed the Htoo Chaung bridge (1) further north, this would have slowed down an attack on #Hpasawng, ---> #Myanmar

One main question is why they didn't blown up the bridge towards Hpa Sung in Htoo Chaung. This would have stopped the SAC assault towards Hpa Sung

In #Hpapun, the #KNU has been attacking the last remaining #SAC bases since the beginning of the year. There are reports that the KNU captured one base but had to withdraw because of counterattacks by the air force. Fighting ongoing #Myanmar

In #Hpakant #KIA forces captured and destroyed the police station in Hpa Pyin, later withdrew, #SAC troops are now stationed at a nearby school and church (Map corrections towards SAC) #Myanmar

#2 Two days later, they secured the entire town and the nearby Battalion 134 base (2), with KNDF forces retreating into the countryside. After two years of encirclement and fighting, the only remaining Battalion 135 base has now also been relieved.

#1 #SAC forces have recaptured the town of #Hpasawng in #Kayah State from #KNDF. At the end of last year, SAC captured the Htoo Chaung Bridge(1) linking Bawlakhe and Hpasawng. From there, they launched a new push last week, capturing the villages of Nant Kit and Pa Pu. #Myanmar

This has been reported by some outlets. Likely AA have some instructors present in this region to give PDF forces the knowledge of capturing bases. AA forces are also very active in Bhamo this is likely a logical expansion of its forces to divert SAC Troops away from Rakhine

#SAC forces attempted to capture the local high ground, but the attacks were repelled by the #KIA. In street fighting, more than 35 SAC troops were killed, six were captured, and a company commander was also killed.

#SAC forces in Hpakant have launched a new offensive toward Hseng Taung, which is controlled by the #KIA. Heavy fighting is ongoing in Yu Ma village and Ma Shi Ka Thaung Ward, suggesting a KIA presence in these areas (map changes towards KIA). #Myanmar

#SAC forces have launched a renewed offensive to recapture Min Let Pan from #KNU forces. Heavy fighting is ongoing, and civilians are fleeing after repeated heavy airstrikes in the area. #Myanmar

This puts KaPaSa 16 in great danger. Point 666 was its largest defensive base. SAC troops are already preparing the defense of the factory.

At the #Padaung front in #Bago, #AA forces once again captured Point 666 base after a long siege. Around 200–300 #SAC troops had been stationed at the base. AA troops are now within 3 km of KaPaSa 16 (1). SAC forces are already launching counterattacks toward the base. #Myanmar
